I have watched the Israeli/Palestine war go on for decades. Conflict like a slow, necrotic wound. Watched when the only time they came close to resolution, the architect was assassinated. I stand with all Israelis and Palestinians who believe in mutual resolution instead of endless conflict.

Every now and then I like to doomscroll about microplastics and environmental contamination. I often wonder that when some new compound is released into our environment, should it not have to undergo the same kind of rigorous testing on humans that drugs do? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39183960/

Turns out the original painter of the mural did so with some stuff that makes overpainting peel off, and it is peeling off. This is like live art and I am here for it. #elomusk #brunswick #melbourne. Anyway, seizure guy got arrested recently so there's that.

Everything old is new again... "over 500 shoemakers, both men and women...were protesting against the trial of a sewing machine by one of the town’s leading shoe manufacturers. The resolution..condemned machinery as injurious to the interests of the working classes" Staffordshire Advertiser 1855

For any women around my age, if you were pre-eclampsic during your pregnancies you may not know this. Newish info. "Women who have been diagnosed with either pre-eclampsia or gestational hypertension are at increased risk of subsequent hypertension and cardiovascular disease."

Lots of wonderings over whether the LNPs threat to cut public services with details to come after the election is simply code for cutting frontline jobs. Nurses, firefighters, police…yours truly. Cant be specific because it might lose them the election I guess.

It’s easier to control others with hate, fear, and violence than with love and understanding. Love and understanding isn’t about control it’s about support…something the hateful will not understand.

I must not be wording this right. Lemme try again. There is only one (1) office (not even an institute) at the NIH dedicated to women’s health research. That office is now being dismantled, with only a bland landing page remaining on their website. This is a five-alarm fire! orwh.od.nih.gov

The US President is currently blocking our infectious disease early warning system by cutting off communication between the CDC and the WHO—communication that is essential to the health and wellbeing of the country he purports to govern. He is putting every American at risk.

The US media is controlled by six companies.⁠ In France it’s nine, in Australia it’s three. Social is worse again. You can't vote wisely when all you learn arrives through a filter made by billionaires. Democratization includes breaking up media giants. #Politics #auspol #PoliticalScience

As always, ask yourselves which of the big tech giants weren't front and centre at the inauguration, and what isn't being reported on in the media right now? #media #inauguration (Don't mind me, I have an unused medial-winning media studies major from a thrillion years ago)

Anyway, as a timeline cleanse, my 6 year old sidled up to me this morning and very seriously asked me to type something to "the computer" (aka Chat GPT). Here was her very serious question: "In Teenieping Catch, do they ever find the red royal teenieping?" 🥰

Back to outrage mining this year with the Murdoch empire now expanded to include social media. My wish is that people meet in the cafes and the pubs to discuss it and try not to click on the bait. The best thing the 99% can do is just turn it off.

It's so nice logging into Bluesky and it just looking like 2014 Twitter and people chatting about their various interests. Keep it up Tweeps. 🥰

Rant about ageism and the media fresh from clinic today. People get retrenched in their 50s and ageist employers wont hire them. They go on Newstart, diligently look for work, cop more ageism, and the media is full of 'welfare bludger' stories. Absolute poison to their health and wellbeing. 😡

After recently suffering through the American election season, the Australian election season is about to start. If you need me I will be offline, with a book, sitting the latest round of "humans being disappointing" out.
